Using the MSI file to install the Webroot Business Endpoint Protection agent

The MSI file can be used to install the Webroot Business Protection agent to Windows devices. The Microsoft installer requires commands during installation, which apply the keycode and other options.

Installation requirements:

The device meets system requirements.
- System Requirements
An active internet connection.
- Firewall configuration
The user or method used to deploy needs permission to install software to the device.

The Keycode
Please use the correct keycode when installing the agent. Failure to install using the proper keycode can result in the agent needing to be manually uninstalled from each device.

When managing all devices with a single keycode - that is the keycode to use.
When managing security for many sites - use the keycode for that site and not the parent or account keycode. Click here for help determining a site's keycode.

You can install the agent silently and in the background (requiring no user input) using the MSI file. Here is the MSI command with an addition to export a log to c:\install.log:

msiexec /i wsasme.msi GUILIC=licensekey CMDLINE=SME,quiet /qn /l*v install.log
